What I really need is something that works like
\b, but supporting accentuated chars.
Your character class is almost like the one I've posted: "
[à-äè-ïò-öú-ýÿÀ-ÄÈ-ÏÒ-ÖÙ-ÝŸçÇ\w]", all of these are in the \300-\377 range, but the other ones like 'æ' I won't use. So, I'd need to use that big one and of course it still wouldn't work exactly like
\b.. *sigh*.
As I said, I read
www.pcre.org/man.txt, which is 4.x-related. mIRC uses PCRE 4.3 and the PHP manual says it works with PCRE 5.005, but this link seems much better since it's not a damn .txt file so I'll try it anyway, thanks.
Yeah, I didn't think about using ON TEXT events before.. I suppose you're talking about the new feature, using regex matches for the events?.. unfortunately it's not possible, I need to strip control codes before checking.
Plus, this search seems to need regex, because many items could have many conditions to be made.. like "
search for 'andré' but not 'andréia', nor 'andré <some surname>'", "
search for 'cold', forget 'coldplay'/'coldfusion'/'cold war'/'coldwar'/<put here more strings and many variations of them>; 'cooold' is fine, same exceptions for it ('coooldplay' etc)".
That would need more scripting and actually my point is to avoid it, being able just to fill a list of strings to be searched for, being filtered by a list of exception strings, pre-developed conditions etc. and then let mIRC do the job. My IRC environment really asks for something like this..
